Kylian Mbappé at the World Cup is not a normal football player. He is a glitch in the simulation.

While other forwards are out here trying to have a "well-rounded club career," Mbappé literally treats the biggest tournament on Earth like his personal Sunday League. 20 goals in 20 career World Cup games is actually unhinged. He scored 8 goals this summer alone just because he felt like it.

Yes, Spain put him in a tactical straightjacket in the semis, but that’s only because it took an entire nation of pass-merchants to temporarily contain his massive aura. In 10 years, he won't just be the GOAT; we will be calculating our daily coordinates based on where Mbappé is standing. Peak generational glazing.
